The forty-second sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI 42) and the Subsidiary Body for
Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA 42), as well as the June session of the Ad Hoc Working Group on
the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP2-9) were held from 1-11 June 2015 in Bonn, Germany.

Side events

Side events and exhibits were established as a platform for organizations, with limited speaking
opportunities in the formal negotiations, to share with Parties for knowledge sharing, capacity building,
networking and exploring actionable options for meeting the climate challenge.

UN agencies, admitted observer organizations and selected Parties that partner with observers present their
work or foster discussions on key issues, often engaging the audience in a Q&A session. Side events are
90 minutes in duration.

Registration of speakers and participants

Please note that all speakers and participants who wish to take part in an event must be duly registered
through a Party or an observer organization in advance. They have to be in possession of a conference badge
in order to access side event rooms.

Conference badges have to be picked up before the registration closes for the day. The confirmation of an
event does not justify an increase of your delegation or extension of registration office hours. Please
ensure that speakers are aware of these arrangements.

Climate Action Fair

The UNFCCC secretariat has organized a Climate Action Fair to showcase action already taking place on
the ground. The Climate Action Fair consisted of a number of side events, exhibits, a dialogue series, a
networking reception and the Climate Action Fair Virtual Expo.
Please find further information here.

INDC Cluster

A number of countries have already submitted their INDCs and civil society and public interest in the INDCs
is growing. This has also become visible in the number of side events that focus on INDCs at the meeting of
the Subsidiary Bodies in Bonn from 1- 11 June. As a result, the secretariat had decided to cluster all
INDC-related side events in room Bonn III over four days on 2 – 5 June 2015. Please find here a
schedule of these side events.

Other and Outside Events

Besides the official side events coordinated by the UNFCCC secretariat, Parties and observer
organizations often organize their own events relating to the climate change negotiation process
within different Pavilions and outside the conference premises. Some NGOs also hold media actions or
publicity activities in order to raise public awareness or to communicate with delegates during the
sessions. The information on such events and activities will be announced hereunder on a request
basis.
